Do my helper bags look right?

**RandomHero** · 11-06-2009, 05:34 PM

Well I had to get creative to make these work, but I had expected that. Before I button everything up, does this look right to everyone?

**CAMDIDDY** · 11-06-2009, 05:41 PM

look pretty square to me.

**Kal** · 11-06-2009, 06:52 PM

That's how mine looks on my obs.

**RandomHero** · 11-07-2009, 03:01 AM

Thanks guys I got them both on and up and running. Everything seems to be peachy so far. I did have an issue with the bag rubbing on the brake lines. I was able to fit it, but it put the bag at a bit more awkward of an angle.

Boy am I glad I invested in these though! I have yet to bottom out yet on my normal driving where I would bottom out quite literally 25+ times.

Yep, there's no kinks. The truck is too low to really get a good picture, but they look good so far. They puff out much more than that once they have any kind of air in them. I'll see if I can't get one though. I wish the top mount were a little close to the frame but other than that they're working well now.

They are actually made for the 88-98 trucks. They fit well, you just have to drill 2 3/8" holes on each side. Was a pretty easy install.

They're made by Airlift part number 59106BT

did those mount in front of the axle or behind?

Front. I wanted them to help with axle wrap as well.

**leochevy2001** · 11-07-2009, 09:26 PM

so they normally mount behind?
would it be better if one mounted in front and another mount behind?

I think your shocks are upside down.

But bags look good, I would just make sure when you droop your suspension, like when it's on a lift you disconnect them. Don't want the bags limiting your droop and rip one.

**Trevor F** · 11-08-2009, 12:09 AM

yes shock is upside down. dont put to many miles on it like that. had a friend do that with some djms. 8000 miles later they are soft as a pillow. a fly could land on his tailgate and the truck would move.

Yea good idea. I was extra careful installing them for that exact reason.

As far as the shocks. I had them the other way and I was told they were on upside down. I guess I'll flip em around again. LOL, I didn't notice a difference either way.

looks fine, awfully close but mine sit pretty far back compared to yours. I love mine and they help a ton with normal driving.
